On June 4, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leong conducted an unannounced annual visit. LPA met with Director Nineth Mejia (S1) and Facility Owner Julie Carniglia (S2) and explained the purpose of the visit.

Thirteen children, S1, S2, and two staff members (S3 and S4) were present at today's visit.

LPA reviewed the sign-in/sign-out sheet, where parents signed their children into the facility, and found that all signatures were accounted for.

LPA verified with the CDSS Background Check System that S1, S2, S3, and S4 have current criminal record clearances and are in eligible status. For today's visit, the facility is observed within capacity limits and ratios.

The facility license, waiver, Child Passenger Restraint System Poster, Notifications of Parents’ Rights, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Personal Rights were displayed on the wall.

The last emergency disaster drill was conducted on May 7, 2025, and documented in the facility log. A review of previous drills confirmed they had been conducted at least once every six months.

The facility has a first aid kit, a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector, and a fire extinguisher.

A health and safety inspection of the indoor and outdoor areas found the facility clean, well-maintained, and free of hazards. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and toxic substances were inaccessible to the children. All accessible cabinets and drawers in the classrooms contained no hazardous materials.

The facility was equipped with age-appropriate toys, furniture, and learning materials. Each child had a designated storage area labeled with their name. The bathrooms were clean, fully operational, and with essential sanitation supplies.

FACILITY EVALUATION REPORT California law requires a public report of each licensing visit/inspection. This report is a record for the facility and the licensing agency. This report is available for public review; therefore, care is taken not to disclose personal or confidential information. Inquiries concerning the location, maintenance, and contents of these reports may be directed to the Licensing Program Analyst or Regional Office whose address and telephone number are listed on the front of this form.

DEFICIENCIES A deficiency is an instance of noncompliance with licensing requirements, including applicable statutes, regulations, interim licensing standards, operating standards, and written directives. Applicants/ licensees must be notified in writing of all licensing deficiencies. Deficiencies are listed on the left side of this form, and the applicable licensing requirement upon which the deficiency is identified. There are two types of deficiencies:
  • Type A deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, if not corrected, have a direct and immediate risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care.
  • Type B deficiencies are violations of licensing requirements that, without correction, could become a risk to the health, safety, or personal rights of persons in care, a recordkeeping violation that could impact the care of said persons and/or protection of their resources, or a violation that could impact those services required to meet the needs of persons in care.

PLANS OF CORRECTION (POCs) The licensing agency is required to establish a reasonable length of time to correct a deficiency. In order to set the time, the licensing agency must take into consideration the seriousness of the violation, the number of persons in care involved, and the availability of equipment and personnel necessary to correct the violation. Applicants/licensees are requested to provide a specific plan for each violation on the right side of the form across from each deficiency. The more specific the plan, the less chance exists for any misunderstanding in setting time limits and reviewing corrections. The applicant/licensee who encounters problems beyond their control in completing the corrections within the specified time frame may request and may be granted an extension of the correction due date by the licensing agency.

CORRECTION NOTIFICATION The applicant/licensee is responsible for completing all corrections and promptly notifying the licensing agency of corrections. Applicants/licensees are advised to keep a dated copy of any correspondence sent to the licensing agency concerning corrections, or if corrections are telephoned to the licensing agency, the date, person contacted, and information given.

CIVIL PENALTIES The licensing agency is required by law to issue a Penalty Notice, when applicable, to all facilities holding a license issued by the licensing agency, or subject to licensure, except Certified Family Homes, Resource Families, and Foster Family Homes, or any governmental entity.

PENALTY NOTICE GIVEN The statement concerning civil penalties serves as a penalty notice on this Licensing Report and failure to correct cited licensing deficiencies will result in civil penalties. Applicants/ licensees are required to pay civil penalties when administrative appeals have been exhausted and in accordance with any payment arrangements made with the licensing agency.

APPEAL RIGHTS The applicant/licensee has a right without prejudice to discuss any disagreement in this report with the licensing agency concerning the proper application of licensing requirements. The applicant/ licensee may request a formal review by the licensing agency to amend or dismiss the notice of deficiency and/ or civil penalty. Requests for review shall be made in writing within 15 business days of receipt of a deficiency notification or civil penalty assessment. Licensing deficiencies may be appealed pursuant to the procedures in the LIC 9058 Applicant/Licensee Rights.

AGENCY REVIEW The licensing agency review of an appeal may be conducted based upon information provided in writing by the applicant/licensee. The applicant/licensee may request an office meeting to provide additional information. The applicant/licensee will be notified in writing of the results of the agency review within 60 business days of the date when all necessary information has been provided to the licensing agency.

EMAIL REQUIREMENT Adult Community Care Facilities, Residential Care Facilities for the Chronically Ill, and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly are required to provide and maintain an active email address of record with the licensing agency.

The outdoor playground was clean and free of debris, with a fence at least four feet tall. Play equipment was in good condition, with no sharp, loose, or pointed parts. No pools, spas, or bodies of water were present on the property. The children are filling their water bottles inside the facility.

Parents are required to provide lunch and snacks for their children. S2 stated that none of the children are currently taking prescribed medications.

The facility provides sleeping mats for children to take naps on. LPA observed that blankets were available for the children. The facility requires parents to supply blankets for their children. This item must be laundered weekly.

LPA reviewed five children’s files and found that three were complete. The files contained emergency identification information and required immunizations. Admission Agreements were missing from the files of three children. LPA requested that S2 email the admission agreement from the files of the three children to the department as soon as possible.

LPA reviewed four staff files and found that each record is complete. Three staff members have current Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificates. All four have current Mandated Reporter Training certificates. The facility is only required to have at least one staff member be current with their Pediatric First Aid/CPR certification.

LPA reviewed transcripts for three staff members and confirmed that each has completed twelve Early Childhood Education (ECE) units, qualifying them to work as teachers. The fourth staff member serves as a teaching assistant.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2370, Chapter 676, Statutes of 2018, requires all licensed Child Care Centers (CCCs) constructed before January 1, 2010, to test their water (used for drinking and food preparation) for lead contamination before January 1, 2023, and then every 5-years after the date of the first test.
